A young man provided alcohol for an underage drinking party attended by a teenager who was fatally struck by a tractor-trailer on Interstate 79 later that night, state police in Butler said.

Robert George Hahn, 22, of Evans City, was charged Tuesday with reckless endangerment, corruption of a minor and selling or furnishing alcohol to a minor, according to a media statement from police.

Troopers said Joseph Barone, 17, of Zelienople, was at the party in Harmony on the night of March 2 and drank alcohol there. He was found dead on the interstate in Lancaster Township at about 12:50 a.m. on March 3.

Online court records don't list a lawyer for Hahn, and he did not immediately return a message left with his parents on Tuesday.
